Monark - Free Movement Battle System

In the trailer, we get a glimpse of the self-dubbed ‘Free Movement Battle System’ in Monark, which is a departure from mainline SMT games. Looking more like Fire Emblem, players will control ‘Fiends’ in fields, commanding them to attack their foes.

Players will also be able to customize the look of their Fiends and it will be interesting to see if they need to be persuaded to join the player ala SMT.
